Perfect timing! I've been struggling to install Fedora on a

libraries for VMX. Don't own any newer Power hardware, just several
PowerMacs (G3 to G5) and two QS22 blades.
There is a thread about F-24 on G5 from June at

it contains some ideas, but without someone actually testing what helps
and what not, we can't do much.
